Dima020 [189]

Answer:

5.16%

Explanation:

PW=0 equation.

0 = -500,000 + 10,000(P/A, i*,10) + 700,000(P/F, i*,10)

Now let use the estimation procedure to determine i* mean while All income will be regarded as a single F in year 10 so that the P/F factor can be used.

Therefore The P/F factor is selected because most of the cash flow ($700,000) which already fits this factor and errors.

P =$500,000, n =10,

F =10(10,000) + 700,000 = $800,000. .

Now we can state that 500,000 =

800,000(P/F,i,10)(P/F,i,10) = 0.625

Roughly estimated i* is between 4% and 5%.

Let use 5% as the first trial because this approximate rate for the P/F factor is lower than the true value when the time value of money is considered.

At i* =5%, the IRR equation is

0 = -500,000 + 10,000(P/A,5%,10) + 700,000(P/F,5%,10)0 < $6946

The result is positive, indicating that the return is more than 5%.

Let Try i*= 6%.

0 = -500,000 + 10,000(P/A,6%,10) + 700,000(P/F,6%,10)0 > $-35,519

Since the interest rate of 6% is too high, linearly interpolate between 5% and 6%

i* = 5.00 + 6946/(6946 + 35519) = 5.16%

Therefore the RATE OF RETURN is 5.16%

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,120 and matures in 18 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a cou
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

D. 3.66%

Explanation:

For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $2,120

Future value or Face value = $2,000

PMT = $2,000 × 6.6% ÷ 2 = $66.60

NPER = 18 years × 2 = 36 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.05% × 2 % = 6.10%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 6.10% × ( 1 - 0.40)

= 3.66%

A company has the choice of either selling 1,000 unfinished units as is or completing them. The company could sell the unfinishe
professor190 [17]

Answer:

It is more convenient to sell the units unfinished by $500.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 1,000

Unfinished:

Selling price= $4.00 per unit.

Complete:

Incremental costs= $1.00 per unit for direct materials, $2.00 per unit for direct labor, and $1.50 per unit for overhead

Selling price= $8.00 each.

We need to calculate the gross profit of each option and choose the more convenient:

Unfinished:

Gross profit= 1,000*4= $4,000

Complete:

Gross profit= 1,000*(8 - 4.5)= $3,500

It is more convenient to sell the units unfinished by $500.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Almost every other business in this universe now relies upon group thinking rather than individual approach to anything.

It has several advantages, some of them are pointed out below:

o) Equality bias, when there are group discussion, this means that everyone has a part of say in the final decision and that leads to equality bias, which is beneficial.

o) More alternatives are generated, it is a fact that when an individual takes a decision, he/she is neglecting a lot of other options to explore which could be a lot beneficial for the business.

After eating four slices of pizza, you are offered a fifth slice for free. You turn down the fifth slice.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": marginal utility is positive for the 4th slice and negative for the 5th slice.

Explanation:

Marginal Utility refers to the additional benefit or satisfaction gained from consuming one more unit of a good or service. In economics, something has utility if it satisfies any consumer wants or needs whether for usefulness or pleasure. It is a subjective term.

If the marginal utility is positive, consumers would want to acquire more of the good or service but if negative they will stop consuming it. Thus, the marginal utility for the 4th pizza slice is positive but the marginal utility for the 5th slice is negative.
